Hello all,
I'm currently haveing a bit of a problem with JDesk, so here it is. I am having trouble with the work area, when I use a bang or insert the command into the theme file, a maximized window will temporarily conform to the required dimensions, but after about 2 seconds, the window conforms to a funky size, there's a gap on the bottom, and the top, can anyone tell me why I am experiencing this issue?
Hard to say without seeing the settings.
tell me what settings to show you, and I'll post them up...
Hmm... lets see... Oh! I know! The jdesk settings?! (including !bangs you're running)
TMI
!jDeskSetWorkArea "35,1,1,1"
...should be...
!jDeskSetWorkArea "35,1,-1,-1"
With !jDeskSetWorkArea "35,1,1,1", you're putting your right border to the left of the left border (meaning your desktop is like negative 34 pixels across), and the top/bottom borders are touching (so no top/bottom space at all).
When -1 is used for the right and bottom settings, it means you want the right/bottom border to be 1 pixel off of that edge.
If you have a resolution of 1600x1200...
!jDeskSetWorkArea "35,1,$resolutionx-1$,$resolutiony-1$"
...is the same as...
!jDeskSetWorkArea "35,1,1599,1199"
...which is also the same as...
!jDeskSetWorkArea "35,1,-1,-1"
You want to use the first or last type, though, in a theme you plan to release on the public.
hmm ok, i see what you mean, but every time i run that bang, the effect only occurs for like, 2 seconds, then it resets itself to defult...
This is the only jdesk setting in your theme.rc:
jdeskworkarea "35,0,0,-21"
I don't know WTF you were doing with that CSS stuff. ;) LS don't use no stinkin' CSS. Maybe the jdesk *documentation* had some CSS file associated with it.
In any case, that setting probably ought to be
jdeskworkarea "35,1,-1,-21"
nope, still didnt do anything... its very srange though, not a thing chages on my maximized window size...
there's also some jdesk settings in your personal.rc. I've changed my stuff around so much though, I can't remember if that was one of the ones included or not...
hmm well, i have no idea what the problem is, the Work Area never changes when I tell it to,
Do you have any other software running that might be trying to manage that?
nope, not than I'm aware of... Litestep was my first step into major computer customization lol ^_^
